A lot of life happened in the last bit of time.

Beautiful faces and wonderful afternoons spent living together under this bright blue sky dome.


But.
A part of the team is in the hospital. This old compound just isn't the same. There's one mug's worth of coffee left in the pot.
But time will keep moving and a guess will be made. No one will ever know what's best. And predicting is a waste of time. Right now Papa isn't well. Right now my mom isn't a nurse. Right now my mom shouldn't do this alone. Right now some changes will come. Right now we'll keep our heads up and keep learning to take care of each other. Right now? Simple, really.






We sure do miss those Chapman folk. The world is a little different when they're around. Not that we're not capable of making fun by ourselves... but it's like the we reflect the light in each other or something. That whole bringing out the best in someone... it's like that times 2378675. It's a combination of so many things that it makes it hard to just answer 'yeah' to a, "did you have a nice time with your family?" question. I'd rather say, "Mmmmm you'll read about them in my book one day."
